The Assessor's determination of value after review is based on the following: AGOI - Upon review of the subject parcel and explantion of procedure used in establishing agricultural land values no adjustment was made. If you disagree with the Assessor's decision, you have the right to appeal to the County Board of Equalization for further consideration, § 39-8-106(1)(a), C.R.S. The deadline for filing real property appeals is July 15. The deadline for filing personal property appeals is July 20. The Assessor establishes property values. The local taxing authorities (county, school district, city, fire protection, and other special districts) set mill levies. The mill levy requested by each taxing authority is based on a projected budget and the property tax revenue required to adequately fund the services it provides to its taxpayers. The local taxing authorities hold budget hearings in the fall. If you are concerned about mill levies, we recommend that you attend these budget hearings. Please refer to last year's tax bill or ask your Assessor for a listing of the local taxing authorities.

Attached is the documentation that I submitted with my initial protest of my tax rate. It shows the only 4 ranch homes style homes that were sold in the Vista Pointe Sub Division during the applicable time frame. The average sale price for these 4 homes was $364k. The average square footage for those homes was 5% less than ours. The average lot size for those homes was 26% larger than ours. I think those offset each other. Allowing $40k for our finished basement, a fair price would have been $404k. While I love my home, I do not know how it could have commanded a sale price that was 26% higher than similar style homes sold in this time frame. Since I live an hour away, I will not make the hearing in person. If this disqualifies me from the appeals consideration, that is fine. I just do not know what else I could provide as logic for the reason for my tax assessment appeal other than the pure logic of similar style and size homes that sold in the same lime frame. Thank you for your consideration. Doug Bacon 1215 Serene Dr. Erie, CO 80516 I would like to protest the proposed assessment value of $459,117 for 1215 Serene Dr in the Vista Pointe development in Erie. Our home is a 2,482 square foot Ranch style home. Your records indicate that the square footage of our finished basement to be 1,710. I researched home sales in Vista Pointe of Ranch style home from the period of January 1, 2007 thru June 30, 2008. I found 4 such homes. The details are shown on the attached. The average square footage on the main level for the homes is 2,356 square feet. This is approximately 5% less than our home. Our lot size is 10,635 square feet. The average lot size for the 4 homes was 13,384. Their lots were approximately 26% larger than ours. The number of bedrooms, baths and garage bays were the same as our for 3 of the homes. The other home had 2 more bedrooms, %3 less bath and 1 less garage bay. All homes had a deck or covered patio. I would assess the features of these homes, excluding our finished basement, to be fairly equivalent. If anything, our smaller lot size should give us a lesser value. Also, one of the homes had a finished basement which I am discounting. The average sales price for these 4 homes was $364k. Allowing $40k for our finished basement would bring our comparable assessed value to $404. I respectively request that our home's appraised value be lowered to $404k. Thank you for your consideration.
